Can this be tuned to not send a complaint if it's cross posted to less than N groups? Cross posts are good, in moderation, so I wouldn't want us to be encouraging posting the same article multiple times, but I'd agree that I've rarely, if ever, seen a message that should be cross posted to more than 5 groups. -- +---------------------- Tivoli Customer Support ----------------------+ | Sten Drescher Tivoli Systems, Inc | | email: sten.drescher@tivoli.com 9442 Capital of Texas Hwy North | | phone: (512) 794-9070 Arboretum Plaza One, Suite 500 | | fax : (512) 345-2784 Austin, Texas 78759 | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
